I’m there with you. 68. We all remember exactly where we were when we heard President Kennedy was shot.

Newman for me was that older guy in those movies our older cousins and brother’s were watching. I was still in grade school, but movies like The Young Philadelphians and From The Terrace hit me hard.

I still watch these movies now and then.

Favorite Newman? Love watching The Verdict, but he made so many that were great to watch.

He got tiresome ONLY when we learned that he was a flaming liberal, not as bad as Ed Asner and Di Nero, but his politics spoiled it.

PS Captain Blood as in Errol Flynn?

[Captain Peter Blood]

Yes on the Captain Blood, Flynn was and still is one of favorites, talk about Toxic Masculinity.

I liked The Verdict because it was so very Boston. I attended schools where the lights were just like those in that courtroom. The walls were almost from my elementary school.

That scene where he gave a roundhouse to Charlotte Rampling after realizing what a rat she was, was unforgettable.
